Composites

Composites have been around since the early 80’s. They consist of a plastic based filling that can be matched perfectly to the color of your existing teeth. These composites last much longer than the average amalgam filling and are much stronger than amalgams. Amalgams are mercury based fillings, or silver fillings, that are slowly being replaced by this new process. Amalgams usually last up to seven years and are not commonly used today with the new technological breakthroughs.
